    ps: It¡¯s the end of the month, please support me with your monthly vote, thank you.

    Wang Guan doesn¡¯t know whether Banshan Temple can become a famous temple. He just knows that after not seeing him for a while, Banshan monk has become more solemn and looks like a highly virtuous monk.

    Of course, the Banshan monk has the demeanor of a master. After more than half a year of training, his cultivation will definitely become more refined, and his movements will naturally become more and more impressive.

    "Amitabha."

    At the right time, the mountain monk smiled and said, "Donor Wang is joking again."

    "The truth, absolutely the truth."

    After some pleasantries, Wang Guan sat down, took the tea from the mountain monk, took a sip, and felt a peaceful atmosphere surrounding him.

    However, this is not the effect of the tea, but the layout of the abbot's room, which gives people this feeling.  The room with a pure wooden structure is filled with Tang Dynasty-style coffee tables and intricately woven futons.

    Sitting there, you can see the high red tiles on the wall outside the window, and a few bitter bamboos fluttering in the wind.  When the mountain breeze blows, you can not only hear the swaying of bamboo branches, but also the sound of wooden fish bells.

    Such an environment naturally creates a sense of tranquility and peace, making people soothed and feel very comfortable.  Speaking of which, they are suffering from the hustle and bustle of city life, so for modern people, the silence of ancient temples in the mountains is an irresistible temptation.

    Wang Guan sat for a while and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.

    "This fully shows that Donor Wang has a predestined relationship with the Buddha." At the same time, the Banshan monk repeated the old tune: "Since we know the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, why not simply become a monk and escape from the world?"

    ¡°I¡¯m already planning to get married, why should I become a monk?¡± Wang Guan rolled his eyes.

    "Amitabha, what a pity." Upon hearing this, the mountain monk couldn't help but shake his head.  His eyes were full of sighs that such a good young man could be so willing to degenerate.

    In this regard, Wang Guan felt that he and the Banshan monk had nothing in common, so naturally they didn't share the same tune.  His eyes also swept across the abbot's room, and he suddenly discovered something.

    "Huh."

    At the right time, Wang Guan said in surprise: "Master, you are so elegant. Did you paint this painting yourself?"

    Yu Feibai and Tang Qinghua quickly looked around and saw nothing but walls.  There is indeed a painting hanging.  Everyone knew that Monk Banshan was good at calligraphy, but they didn't expect that he actually knew how to paint.

    "no."

    However, the monk in the middle of the mountain shook his head and said: "This is something sent by a guest. I hope the poor monk can help consecrate it and pray for blessings."

    "oh."

    Wang Guan and others suddenly understood and did not find it strange.  After all, these days, whether they are powerful people or wealthy businessmen, they prefer to ask eminent monks to help them consecrate their blessings, and the things they send are all kinds of weird.  The calligraphy and painting are pretty normal, and other things like luxury cars, luxury watches, pens and mobile phones are all there.

    Wang Guan also heard about it.  Someone asked the master to consecrate the wine he wanted to drink.

    In this regard, Wang Guan could only sigh, the forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds.  Then again.  The current painting seems to be about a bird, a rather weird bird.

    After taking a closer look, Wang Guan was surprised and said: "It seems to be a painting by Bada Shanren."

    "That's right. It's really the Bada's painting." Yu Feibai looked at it and immediately agreed.

    "Bada Shanren. One of the Four Monks of the Qing Dynasty?"

    Having been running Zhengya Xuan for a long time, Tang Qinghua has some common sense and naturally knows the details of Bada Shanren.

    As one of the most famous painters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Bada Shanren¡¯s reputation is very resounding.  It was very popular both at the time and in later generations.

    For example, the great painter Qi Baishi once wrote a poem praising it, including one sentence, "Ivy snow is far away from the mortal world."  Ivy, however, is Xu Wei and Xu Chang, named Tianchi Shanren, Tianchi Yuyin, and Old Man Ivy.

    As for Xue, of course it¡¯s Bada Shanren.  He was originally a grandson of the Ming Dynasty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. Feeling sad and angry, he simply became a monk, expressing that he did not belong to the secular world and did not accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty.  To this day, everyone admires the patriotic sentiment of Bada Shanren.

    Of course, the most important thing is the works of Bada Shanren. The characteristics of his pen and ink are free and unbridled, vigorous, round and graceful, and full of elegance. No matter whether they are large paintings or short works, they all have a simple, smooth, clear and healthy style.  The composition and structure are unconventional, seeking completeness amid incompleteness, and are extremely creative and have far-reaching influence.

    The Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the mid-Qing Dynasty, the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, and modern masters such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Pan Tianshou, and Li Kuchan were all deeply influenced by his painting style.  All in all, Bada Shanren¡¯s works are?It is very expressive on the field. To put it bluntly, the price is very high. It is normal to be worth tens of millions, and it is not unusual even if it exceeds 100 million.

    "Donor Wang has a good eye."

    At the same time, the monk in the middle of the mountain praised: "Yes, this is exactly the painting of Bada Shanren."

    "This is nothing to say about discernment."

    At this time, Wang Guan shook his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, in my opinion, among the many painters, Bada Shanren's calligraphy and paintings are the best for identification. Especially the paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects, they must be accurate at a glance."

    "The enemy."

    For a moment, Yu Feibai nodded repeatedly and said, "I feel the same way."

    "Why?" Tang Qinghua was a little surprised. It was obvious that he only knew Bada Shanren, but he didn't understand them thoroughly enough, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this question.

    "Simple."

    At the right time, Wang Guan said with a smile: "The Bada Shanren's paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects have very distinct themes and outstanding features. As long as you pay careful attention, if you see the eyes of the birds and fish, as if they are rolling their eyes, it is probably Bada's."  Works."

    "Roll your eyes?"

    Tang Qinghua was startled, then compared the pictures on the wall, and immediately understood the meaning.

    ? Mainly in the paintings of Bada Shanren, there are such obvious characteristics.  When drawing the eyes of fish and birds, I prefer to use symbolic techniques. I draw the eyes somewhat exaggeratedly, but the pupils are only a small point, and most of them are the whites of the eyes.

    It is this characteristic of rolling eyes that is actually dissatisfaction with the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but unable to fight, so they can only express their disdain and nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, it is this distinctive feature that brings a lot of convenience to everyone¡¯s identification.  Almost at a glance, you can probably be sure that the thing is the work of Bada Shanren, and then you have to verify its authenticity.

    "However, those who dare to send it for consecration should be authentic.  After all, with the discernment of the Banshan monk, if someone comes to ask him to consecrate a fake, he will definitely refuse it politely and cannot afford to embarrass this person.

    "The paintings of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China need to be viewed carefully."

    While speaking, Wang Guan also stood up and walked to the wall to look at it.  He also has some admiration for Bada Shanren.  After all, according to the geographical classification, he and Bada Shanren are fellow villagers.

    Bada Shanren probably spent most of his life wandering around various places, but in his later years, he lived in seclusion in Nanchang.  In Nanchang today, there is a Bada Shanren Memorial Hall.  Due to his experience of traveling in various places, Bada Shanren's works adopt natural methods, concise pen and ink, majestic and unique, creating a high, wide and vertical style.

    When you draw fish and birds, you will definitely roll your eyes.  When painting landscapes, most of them take desolate, cold and desolate scenery, leaving mountains and rivers, and the feeling of admiration overflowing on the paper. It can be said that there are not many ink spots but many teardrops, and the mountains and rivers are still the same as before.

    "Is it an authentic work or a forgery?"

    At the same time, Yu Feibai also curiously asked.  Even if it is certain that it is not a modern fake, it may still be an imitation from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.  You must know that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a hundred years after Bada Shanren's death, his fake paintings had spread all over the world. During the Republic of China, Wu Changshuo even lamented that there were so many fake Bada Shanren paintings in the world, which were unsightly.

    After all, during the Republic of China, due to the demand from overseas markets, especially Japan, the Eight Great Counterfeits were rampant. Whether they were flowers and birds, landscapes, or calligraphy, they were all forged.  Among the many imitations, the most realistic forgery was made by the famous painter Zhang Daqian. Not only could he imitate it, but he could also create it based on the painting styles of the Eight Great Masters.

    And because they are so lifelike, many imitations are still collected in museums at home and abroad.  Nowadays, Bada Shanren's paintings are even more mixed, and many fakes have been included in various catalogs.

    In addition, with the prosperity of the domestic art auction market in recent years, the market for calligraphy and painting has rapidly heated up, and the number of forgeries of Bada Shanren at auction has also been increasing year by year.  Although there are more than dozens of Bada Shanren works appearing at the auction, according to insiders, less than two-tenths of them are authentic.

    ?? If you are kinder, they are old imitations from the Republic of China period. If you are not kind enough, you can just fool people with recent new imitations.  Moreover, some of the imitations are of very poor quality and the writing and ink are rough, making it obvious that they are fakes at a glance.

    Of course, this work cannot be fake at first glance.  On the contrary, it is very charming.  The picture shows a rough and clumsy tree trunk with a strange bird on it.  The strange bird is perched on a branch, its wings are tightly closed, but its head is tilted to one side. Among its peanut-sized eyes, only a little bit is as big as a mung bean, and most of the rest are blank.

    Such a posture, such an expression, showing others with a blank stare, seems to be contemptuous of someone, full of aloofness and cynicism.  Picture styleThere is a majestic and simple atmosphere in the desolation and coldness. This is the unique style of Badashanren and it is easy to identify.

    In fact, Wang Guan feels that the reason why Bada Shanren is famous all over the world is largely because he created this generation of painting style.  Compared with other mediocre painters, his works are highly recognizable. When you see works of this style, you can directly think of Bada Shanren. His fame naturally accumulates over time and becomes an irresistible trend.

    However, the style is similar, so it may not be authentic and needs to be carefully identified.

    ¡°The book payment looks very genuine.¡±

    At the right time, Yu Feibai habitually looked at the works.  After all, the book payment is like a person's signature. Under normal circumstances, it is easier to see some clues.

    Especially in the signatures of Bada Shanren in his later years, Bada and Shanren are often written vertically.  The first two characters resemble the character for crying and the character for laughing, while the latter two characters are similar to the character for zhi, which is a metaphor for crying and laughing, which means that one cannot laugh or cry.

    ¡°Anyway, this kind of book style is very flavorful, and ordinary people can¡¯t imitate it
